Senator Stanford's Scheme.

Springfield Republican,: Leland STAN
ford has all comprehensive ambitions
concerning his new university at Palo
Alto, and follows the instincts of a
business man in desiring to make it q
means for practical education SO
called. He is quoted as saying:
intend that the Stanford univer-
sity shall not only give one a classical
education, but that under tsroof one
may learn telegraphy, type setting,
type writing, journalism, bookkeep-
ing, farming. civil engineering, etc.
For u number OF years prior to its in
ception young men, graduates OF Har-
ward, Yale and other Eastern colleges
used to call upon me bearing letters OF
introduction and asking me to find
employment for them. I would learn
upon examination that while their
knowledge of Greek and Latin logic
and metaphysics might be thorough,
they were actually helpless, so far as
practical knowledge went. They were
willing to learn, it is true, but the
world is full of unskilled labor, and so
I was forced to put them on the rail
road as conductors, brakemen and
firemen in order that they might be-
come self-support ing. I then conceived
the idea OF a university from which
young men could graduate fully
equipped for the battle OF life in what
ever direction their tastes might run.

How He Proposed.

They were celebrating their silver
wedding and the friends were admiring
them as people always do other people
when they are gettinga lot of presents.
You have noticed, of course, how peO-
pie look at you when you show them
something somebody has given You.
They are surprised and they envy you.
They always wonder, however, in
themselves, what on earth anybody
could see in you to give you anything
SO handsome. unless it is Your husband.
Then they smile and wonder what he
has been doing that his conscience
needs rest. But if You'll notice, you'll
find that people who get many presents
have MANY friends. You may have
many friends and get precious few pres
scnts. Presents make friends; friends
don't make presents. Married people
increase the circle of their friends with
every anniversary. of their wedding,
because the presents get handsomer
and more expensive. You can work
this paradox out for yourself.

Goodness That Saved Her Life.

Upon the wooded hill near the falls
of French Creek, last Sunday evening;
one of the colored quarrymen hailing
from Virginia was sitting in the living
room of their cabin, when he asked his
wife to go into the bedroom on the
same floor and get him picture that
was hanging against the wall Betsy
walked into the room. when George
was all upset by shrek, for Betsy
had stepped on what she took to be II
small roll of carpet, but just as she
touched it the roll squirmed and wrap
ped itself around her ankle. She had
sense enough to stand still and call
George, who came running with can
die light. He told the woman to stand
still, pushed the bed up back of her
and told her to drop backward on it.
This she did. and with u kick that near
" elevated her heels to the ceiling
When the bed was pulled away rat
tlesnakc about five feet long was found,
nearly crushed to death. The woman
had fortunately put her foot just on it's
neck, SO that it could not bite her, and
this is what saved her. Rattlcsnakcs
are great rarity on the hills. and it
was wondered for some tiIne where it
came from, especially at this season of
the year. 1t was finally concluded
that it had been brought to the house
in an old hollow log that was burned
in the open Fireplace, and that while
nobody was about it had crawlcd out
of its winter home, where it had been
lying dormant. The woman has since
been quite sick from the shock. -Ph9-

Capture of a Whale.

An extraordinary capture was made
at Skegness on Sunday. At about
half-past in the morning Mr.. Storr,
manager of the steamboat company.
who was on the picr-head. saw
whale about half mile east of the pier,
and inside of what is known as the
Skcgness middle sands. 1t could not
therefore escape without going due
north. 1t attempted to get eastward,
but was prevented by the sandbank.
and then it turned back to deep water
and made IN the direction of the shore.
III doing this the monster came in con-
tact with the landing-stage at the pier
head, struck one OF the iron girders.
and shook the pier considerably. 1t
here injured itself in the body, and
disabled one of its fins. In addition
to this Mr. Storr gave it severe blow
on the head with II tow-hook. 1t was
now SO seriously injured that there
was little or no fear of its being able
to escape. Assistance was obtained,
and it was driven toward the shore,
and further injured by rifle-shots, of
which five or six were fired into its
body. About 10 o'clock it was suffi-
GENTLY disabled to permit of its pur-
suers approaching ii with some degree
OF safety, and they soon fastened a
rope around its tail, BY means of which
and the aid of the flowing tide they
got it ashore. Life. however, did not
become extinct until some time after it
was safely landed. 1t is supposed to
be Il Greenland whale and is forty
seven feet long. Its girth is eighteen
feet, the length of its mouth nine feet,
and the breadth OF its tail ten feet four
inches.-.st. Janlcs' Gazette.

1t is a remarkable fact that in London
jump should have been made in almost
"a single bound from the old fashioned
English inn, with its dark, lily ventilated,
cramped and uncomfortable Railways and
bedrooms, to such hotel as the Metrop-
ole, with its 800 high and well lighted
rooms, its richly furnished saloons, and
all the other beauties and advantages that
the most advanced modern architecture
can devise. No one can step into this
world renowned establishment without
an expression of wonder and delight.
The building alone, to say nothing of its
perfect arrangements, is now one of the
institutions of London that must be seen
by every American traveller Naturally
it has come to be the center of American
travel in London and a majority of its
guests is often made up of Americans.
No single hotel in Europe begins to ap-
proach the Metropole in popularity with
American travellers. 1t is also the favor

that the Prince of Wales presided there

The Metropole is the princes favorite

construction and interior decorations and
its advantages generally are incomparably
superior to those of any other hotel in

She Knew the Answers,

A professor in a certain musical college
once told me of pupil who attended his
lectures-a young woman from some re-
mote place like Seattle or Los Angeles,
who attracted his attention by her extreme
devotion to her work, her regularity-in
fact, by all that goes to make pupil solid
with the faculty. Moreover, she was
beautiful as the day, with large and stat
uesque beauty, as of strong, full ma
ture, serene, calm and undisturbed. But
alaSl when examinations came and papers
were handed in hers was found to be SIM
ply impossible. 1t was evident that be-
hind that Juno like brow there were no
brains. In fact, such paper was never
seen before; even the spelling was ludi-
crous, while grammar and music were
equally injured and outraged in every
line. Tears could not move my stern
friend, and his report was-''not passed. 1"
But it was intimated to him that there
were reasons why it was absolutely essen
tial that the pupil should graduate, while
her knowledge might be acquired after
ward. Accordingly she applied for re-
examination, and the questions were then
something like this: l. Is not the SYM
phony the highest form of purely musical
expression? 2. Was not Berlioz remarka-
bic for his mastery of ingenious orchestral
effects? 3. Is not Bach called the father
of modern music? "And to my astonish-
ment and qualification, - said the professor
gravely, ito every one of these puZZling
questions she answered with great perspi
cacity, Yes and passed triumphantly-

Steak from the Bull Fights.

Complaint is made that the bulls slaugh-
tered in the arenas on Sundays are sold
TO US in the shape of steaks and roasting
pieces during the week. This is possibly
one of the many ways in which the law Of
compensation works.
The bull fighting mania is having its
head now. Easter Sunday, the anniver-
sary of the resurrection of the founder Of
the Christian religion, was celebrated here
by three ''inaugurations'' of bull rings,
and Sunday afternoon was made hideouS
by the shouts of the thousands inside the
rings. meantime perfect pandemonium
of bands being heard. AS result there
is reaction of sentiment against this bull
fighting craze, and people are predicting
the suppression of the cruel sport next
year, at least within the federal district.

The Shoppers and the sales,adies.


The State street war is social war, and
when w seek out its causes and analyze
Its character we find that it NAV be ex-
planned quite nationally. Everybody likes
to feel that he is superior to somebody
else, and have an opportunity to show it.
IhlS opportunity comes to q man in divers
ways. He can lord it over his employees,
or his subordinates; he may patronize his
barber, or the cigar dealer, or the news
boy. But few such opportunities come to
the woman. She daren't 90 it too strong
with her servants for fear they'll leave
her. Besides, good many women don't
keep servants, and among them may be
found many Of those who fiercely lead the
assaulting columns in the dry goods
stores
1t is in State street that every woman
finds an opportunity to feel and enjoy and
give outward evidence of sense of superb
Ority to somebody else. The average
shopper, no matter what her station or
circumstances, thinks herself several
notcheS above the SaleSwoman. She
shows that she thinks SO, too, and there
comes the trouble. The clerks, feeling
themselves at least the equal of those
whom they are serving, resent either
patronizing or peremptory ordering about.
They have pride, too, and it rises up and
makes them belkgerent. The shopper,
trying to maintain the consciousness of
superiority which, in fact, does not exist,
and which she isn't quite sure of herself,
is naturally over suspicious and quick to
complain of alleged inattention and impu-
dence. The clerk, allowing herself to fall
into the habit of reSenting the airs of her
customers, becomes chronically waspish
and quick tempered, and fails to discrim-
ate between women who do want to i'm
pose on her and those who do not. This,
think, is why we have a war on State
street.-Miss MufIit in Chicago Herald.

to have had no idea of the relative i'm
